Parker's Book Talk


Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief is a New York Times bestseller. It is the exciting beginning of The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. It's full of action, adventure, and various Greek gods and monsters. It's about Percy when he first finds out his father is Poseidon, god of the seas. In another way he is half god, half human which means he has strong powers like controlling water, using water as strength, and he is a wonderful swordsman. He finds out he is not alone because he is one of many half bloods. All these skills come in handy when Zeus's main weapon, the master lightning bolt, has been stolen and Percy is the prime suspect.
